My interview with Steve Bartek was amazing. Absolutley amazing.
So I am sitting there with one of my all-time favorite musicians–an absolute hero of mine in the film scoring world–and I’m thinking to myself, “How can I hang out with this guy more often?”
I knew that I would kick myself if I didn’t–so I asked him if I could come down and hang out like a ‘fly-on-the-wall’ at one of his upcoming recording sessions…he casually answers yes and says there is one in a couple of weeks and to email him when it was a bit closer…
SWEET! I can’t wait!
A piece of advice I am getting from all of these (4 so far and 2 next week) interviews I’m doing is that I should be scoring as many student films as I possibly can in order to get some experience in it and get some credits out there.
So that’s what I’m going to do…I have one I’m going to finish, and I’m going to look for some more after that…
OH–and a bunch of people from my office are going to be running the Pasadena Marathon in November. I’m going to join them. I have a training schedule, resources…and now the motivation to run again. Not to mention that running a marathon was one of the 3 goals I want to accomplish before I turn 30. If I complete this, I’ll just need to finish my master’s degree and I will have accomplished them all!

So how is this guy behind Danny Elfman’s scores? Does Elfman write the themes and Bartek orchestrate them all?
Nice to see doors opening for you Daniel…you have an amazing God given talent and I am soooo excited for you!! Good to have motivation to accomplish those things that are on the “list”. Praying for you all!!
Excellente and Impressive!
@sopranomom29 -
YES–
Danny writes the melodies and chords,etc…and Steve turns that into a full-orchestra sound. Pretty incredible!
You do know that a marathon is 26 miles not 26 minutes right?….just kidding. Very impressive my friend.
Good luck finding free babysitters in Burbank.
Alright, Danny Elfman just dropped a couple notches in my estimation! Bartek does all the hard work!
@sopranomom29 -
oh yeah man! He’s the real hero!
You could invite me along to that, too. *nods*
I also find it kind of sad that I’ve lived in Pasadena my whole life and didn’t know it had a marathon…
@supercarol - Looks like somebody finally decided to join the blog world again after a looooong hibernation!
@dsemsen - *whistles innocently*
Why, I’ve been here the entire time!
